Cows are capable of strong emotions such as pain, fear and even anxiety about the future. But if farmers provide the right conditions, they can also feel great happiness.
The findings have emerged from studies of farm animals that have found similar traits in pigs, goats and chickens. They suggest such animals may be so emotionally similar to humans that welfare laws need to be reconsidered.

Mr. Harold G. Hart, of Neillsville WI was only doing case study work when ahem bonkin' the calves to see if they'd hold grudges.

Drop the charges, really, he was only doing research!
